The Ditchingham Doldrums

As you might have gathered from Annie's aptly titled post "Not in Britain," we spent a wonderful 4 day weekend in Paris with Dr. and Mrs. Brooks. Highlights included the graves of Alexandre Dumas, Voltaire, Rousseau, and Victor Hugo (a literary pilgrimage for Annie--her favorite book being The Hunchback of Notre Dame), visiting Saint Chapelle, Notre Dame, and The Louvre, and of course, eating crepes. 

We're back in Ditchingham! And after visiting so many sights and new places over the past 3 months, we've found the relaxation inherent in our location (somewhat isolated, very rural England) welcome. Classes, reading, and writing dominate our days here at the Belsey Bridge Conference Centre, so in the absence of any exciting new photos, I am posting some old ones discovered on Annie's computer. These are back from our Free Weekend in September. We visited the National Gallery on a rainy day...
